There is a tremendous deal of curiosity about the extent to which this promotion will be given the recent success of All Elite Wrestling. They have undoubtedly been fortunate to get off to a great start, but maintaining that level of success will require a completely different set of skills. We won’t have a clear picture of AEW’s trajectory until we have a solid few months’ worth of coverage to work with, but until then, we’re content to watch and speculate about which of their stars will go on to become a household name.

Jungle Boy

The one and only Jungle Boy, also known as the son of well-known actor Luke Perry, is working alongside the Luchasaurus. While that is a part of his narrative, it doesn’t even start telling you everything you ought to know about this young fighter’s skills in the ring. He possesses all the resources you could potentially need to rise to the level of an absolute star—we don’t even hesitate to use that term. Even if he hasn’t won over everyone yet, Jungle Boy is as amusing as they come.

Kenny Omega

Kenny  enjoys video games constantly and has a superheroic appearance. What else do you require?  It is not an understatement to say that Kenny Omega may be the finest wrestler on the planet right now. After years of advancing through the ranks and excelling in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he has been granted the chance to shine again in North America and around the world. He may or may not succeed in this new setting, but one thing is for certain: he will put on some very amazing matches.

Danhausen

Danhausen’s character is ideal for WWE, and although Triple H inherits command of the WWE Production and emphasizes the wrestling component of the service, WWE will always be a sports entertainment corporation. Danhausen might be an outstanding addition to the WWE roster and would be an amazing mid-card champion if he decides to sign with the business in the near future. Audiences have seen wrestlers with such unusual personas gain broad acclaim and success in the WWE.

Sonny Kiss

We are extremely excited that Sonny Kiss is allowing a brand-new generation of individuals to develop into fans of professional wrestling. folks have already been shaken by Sonny left, right, and center, and naturally, those folks don’t know enough about, well, anything. It will be fascinating to follow Kiss’ journey to the top, and we can’t wait to see what may turn out to be one of the most organic character developments in music history.

MJF

There’s something so endearing—and irritating—about a horrible guy who stubbornly maintains his ego or character at all costs. Say hi to Maxwell Jacob Friedman with that in mind. It’s hardly hyperbole to say that the 23-year-old is traveling to the moon on a rocket ship. The man has already established himself as a better-than-ever contemporary of John Bradshaw Layfield, and he frequently has the wherewithal to back up his claims in the ring. This is only the beginning of the many positive qualities that can be said about this child.

Kip Sabian

This young British man has all the divine gifts you could ever hope for, which may make some people think of a contemporary Randy Orton—without the Britishness. After competing in AEW’s first-ever official match, we’d say that he’s off to a pretty solid start. He would be amazing as the challenger fighting from behind. Sabian is down to earth, has a great look, and when you add those qualities to his incredible ring skills, we’re off to a great start.

The Acclaimed

The WWE main roster tag team division lacks the required depth, aside from The Bloodline, The New Day, and The Street Profits, to provide quality programming in the future. RK-Bro and other unconventional combinations might not be the greatest choice long-term, as WWE needs to either reinvent their current tag teams or add fresh talent from the independents or other firms. The acclaimed tag team in AEW, Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, are making significant progress within the organization and are being praised by both fans and industry icons.

Thunder Rosa

Undoubtedly, WWE’s Women’s Division on the main roster needs greater star power. The other competitors in the women’s division do not elicit the appropriate reactions from the crowd, save from the more well-known names like Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Ronda Rousey, and Bianca Belair. Even Liv Morgan, the current SmackDown Women’s Champion, is receiving some negative feedback from the audience. 

WWE may bring in some established stars from other promotions in addition to developing new talent like the current AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah. It would be fantastic to see the 36-year-old wrestler in a WWE ring before she calls it a day because she has built a reputation for herself everywhere she has set foot.

Awesome Kong

It’s ironic that you might say Awesome Kong is already a well-known celebrity in this entry. With the Netflix series GLOW, the person once known as Kharma during her brief tenure with WWE, has been lighting it up on the big screen and making quite an impact. Although she may be nearing the end of her in-ring career, it seems nearly certain at this point that she will become a star in some capacity. It sounds like a decent idea to start with the AEW Women’s Championship.

Pentagon Jr.

It might take some time before AEW truly executes on this, but when and if they do, it will be a sight to behold. Pentagon Jr. has been crushing it for years, and now everyone can watch him in action on the main stage. He may be concentrating on the tag team division right now, but given how powerful a singles star he is, we don’t think it will continue for very long.
